2022 NHL Draft Ranking - The Early Look, July 8th, 2021 - HockeyProspect.com
HP's early ranking came out.
I'm not necessarily an HP-truther, but I do think they're a quality scouting service.
I feel a bit vindicated to see Chesley so high, I've had him at #3 for quite a while now. This board probably has (justified) blueline prospect fatigue, but he is a great player.
I think the Lambert ranking is an over-correction personally. Growing pains at the Liiga level in his D-1 don't really worry me, I still really covet the tools he brings to the table. You'll want to see a stronger year from him, sure, but he's still my #2 prospect.
On the other hand, I definitely get having Savoie out of the top 5 personally. Electric player, super fun to watch, but I've seen a lot folks project him as a 1C and I struggle to see that. I see the profile of a speedy top 6 RW personally. Still a great prospect, but I haven't unsubscribed from the Wright/Lambert/Savoie trio a while ago.
